I made mojito popsicles last night

My man made mojitos...in a POPSICLE!, a photo by gmwnet on Flickr.

They were good. And the batch was enough to make another set, so there are some waiting for us in the freezer for tonight!

I wish the mint was spread throughout.

the struggle is real.

i wonder how you could get it to do that?

[christopher575.livejournal.com]

I think if you waited until they got slushy, then swirled around with a chopstick or something, and then put the sticks in, that might help. But then again, the sticks might not hold on as well.

yes
i think the stick would hold.

do it! for science!

Did you use rum, or is everything else the mojito flavor? Would you mind sharing the recipe?

I tired making fennel and Pernod popsicles two summers ago, and although I followed the instructions very carefully (it was a New York Times recipe), it really just turned into a granita. Slush was as solid as they got. And believe me — I waited!

I used rum and followed this recipe:

I didn't use enough hot water on two of them and the sticks came right out, leaving the popsicle behind. The other two, I was more careful with, and they came out fine. They weren't super-duper solid and had to be eaten quickly, but they weren't falling apart or anything.

I would hit that so hard.
